Enjoy the great outdoors on the Toronto Islands by renting a bike or taking to the waters in a canoe, or if dry land indoors is more your thing you’ll love the endless shops at Dundas Square and the Distillery District, as well as the other top fun things to do in this great city…

1. The CN Tower

The great icon of Toronto, the CN Tower, is a must see and do when you’re in the city. It won’t be hard to see it from the outside – it dominates the skyline – but the best way to see it from the inside is going for lunch or dinner there. You can enjoy a Prix Fixe menu starting from $48 and you’ll get free entry to the tower too – although you’ll have to pay extra for the super scary sky walk.

Eat at the restaurant and you’ll get a magnificent revolving view of Toronto from 351 metres (1,151 ft) above. It takes 90 minutes to do a full rotation and you’ll get to enjoy market-fresh cuisine with regional ingredients for an incomparable culinary experience.

2. The Distillery District

The Distillery District is the cool part of the city. It’s filled with bars, restaurants, live theatres, galleries, fashion, design and jewellery boutiques, unique cafes and award-winning restaurants. It’s also completely closed off to traffic and is just a few minutes walk from downtown Toronto. Great in both the sun and the snow.

3. Toronto Islands

The Toronto Islands are a great place to explore if you enjoy the outdoors lifestyle. Ferries leave from the Ferrydocks at 9 Queen’s Quay W check out the ferry schedules and fares. It takes around 15 minutes each way and $7 return to get there.

Once on the islands you can swim, play tennis, go skating, go golfing, cycle, play volleyball and go boating, among many other activities. Check out the Toronto Island Bicycle Rental and explore by pedal for just $8 an hour.

4. Visit the markets

Market lovers (me) will love the wealth of stalls in Toronto. The Arts Market at 1114 Queen St. East Toronto features over 50 artists, designers, restaurants, antiques, and fashion – perfect if you’re after a unique and locally crafted gift.

The St. Lawrence Market Complex at 92 Front St. E., Toronto is another popular market to visit right in the centre of historic Old Town Toronto. There are three buildings offering a range of restaurants, artisans and speciality food vendors, as well as the opportunity for cooking classes and to shop at the farmers’ market.

Make sure you check out the Merchants’ Flea Market for jewellery, furniture, computers, clothing, crafts, collectibles, and more at 1921 Eglinton Ave. E., Scarborough.

And finally for today check out Kensington Market on a Sunday at 67 Kensington Ave. The whole area is pedestrianised so you can enjoy the bars, boutiques and scenery stress free.

5. Walk along the harbour

Walk along the Toronto Harbour and who knows what pleasures you’ll unearth. Woodbine Beach is worth a walk if you like swimming, BBQs or beach volleyball and Sugar Beach is always a fun place to hang out too. Spare some time for the Toronto Music Garden too. It’s been designed to represent Bach’s Suite No. 1 in G Major for unaccompanied cello, BWV 1007 by internationally renowned cellist Yo Yo Ma and landscape designer Julie Moir Messervy.

6. Dundas Square

Dundas Squares is another centre of Toronto with performances spaces, bars and shops. During the summer there are many shows and special events to enjoy for free.
